THE ENNIS MEETING.
Comments by the London Press on the
League Demonstration at Ennis on
Sunday.
LONDON, Sent. 8

LONDON. Sept. 5.
The Post regards the result at Ennis, Sun
day, with lively satisfaction.
The Telegraph says: Seldom even in the
history of the Irish agitation, has greater
fiasco been witnessed. An imposing nation
alist array had to sneak off into a field out of
the way of the police to hold hasty mee ting
until they were disposed OF by small troop
of hussars.
The News says it is to the good sense of
the Irish people and their leaders that the
credit for the peaceful issue of the day is due.
Both parties did their duty and both may
claim the victory. The only authors of the
proclamation are defeated and rendered ridic-
ulous.
The Times says: If it pleases Dillon and
his companions TO evade the police and make
speeches at intervals on being moved on,
there Is no reason to grudge them the amuse-
ment of making themselves ridiculous. We
wish the Parnellites were as easily managed
in the House of Commons as out in the open
air.
The Standard reminds ''fussy people like
Mr.. Stanhope," that whatever their position
is inside the House of Commons, outside
they are simply citizers subject to the law
1t says the Ennis affair was a humbug from
first to last, and wonders that any man was
ever seriously concerned about it.

Rev. Father Harrington, curste at st. Ma

A Man Killed by Falling out of a Second
Story Window.

MAN hliieu Dy r raiiiDs out OF second
Story Window.
BIDDEFoRD, Sept. 8.
Asa r. Bryant, workman at West &
Calderwood's bakery, met with sad death
today. He did not arise at the usual time in
the morning, and his boarding mistress went
to his room in the forenoon to see if he was
sick. He appeared strange and later, in the
afternoon, an employe called to see him.
He noticed peculiar at tions and started for a
physician. Shortly afterward Bryant was
found on the ground at the rear of the house
with his skull fractured. He had crawled out
of the second story window and fallen. He
died in less than an hour. He had been tax
ing ether, but whether he meant to commit
suicide or got bewildered and crswled out of
the window accidentally. is a mystery. He
had been very despondent owing to continued
sickness in his family, and the recent death
of two children. His wife and two children
are at Machias, visiting relatives. Bryant
was about SO years old, a member of the Con-
gregational church and belonged to the Gar
field Commandery of the Golden Cross.

BULG GARIA.
Germany's Duty Towards that Country
as Described by the Gazette.

BERLIN, Sept. 5.
The North German Gazette in an inspired
article says:
The duty imposed by Germany's policy in
interest to the empire and its dignity is to
maintain peace so long as compatible with
honor. There is startling point of endeavor
in this. Direction is found only on the
ground covered by treaties. The circum-
stance that the otherwise peace policy of the
German government for three summers past
has been disturbed by Bulgaria and its
princes is not calculated to attract the good
will of the German politicians towards that
principally. 1t accords with interests to the
peace loving and no less straight forward
German Nation that Germany should in the
councils of Europe throw her whole weight
into the scale in order to MAKE Europe com
msnd peace to the ambitious Bulgarian
princes and ministers who are inclined to set
the continent in a blaze.
